I’ve seen it from the road many times, but I have never stopped. Nothing about the older wineries really interested so I stuck with the smaller or cult wineries. Those wineries were fun and I got some nice wine. My rule was never to buy wine toward the end of my touring. It always tastes great at the end of the day, but not always after you get it home.
